Park Run for Bikes - The Sunday ‘DEAL FREEWHEELING RIDE’ trial run!

The Sunday ‘DEAL FREEWHEELING RIDE’ trial run!


Deal to Sandwich along the ancient highway for coffee and cake and back to Deal, SUNDAY 4th November. Meet 9am for 0915 depart from Mikes Bikes beach-hut. Café and toilets available.

In association with Mikes Bikes I would like to invite you to the prototype of our Sunday Morning Social ‘Freewheeling’ Rides.

The ‘Freewheeling’ idea is very simple: Guided, short, gentle, sociable group rides for people of all ages* capable of riding about 10 miles. No lycra required, any bicycle, electric or human powered suitable. Aim to be back for 1200hrs in time for Sunday lunches/family commitments, pub etc. Freewheeling rides are about ‘Smiles not Miles’, good company, a little exercise and plenty of fresh-air. It’s entirely up to us!

Coffee and cake stop at the halfway point is a must!

*Under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent.

Whilst we appreciate that this is short-notice and that November is not the best time to start cycling rides, it allows us to plant a few seed and grow a core of participants as we head towards Springtime. Hopefully the idea will flourish, and by then a regular timetable of rides, routes and leaders will have been established.

Our Vision is to start generating more cycling activities for people of all ages, fitness, and ability who are not currently catered for my more ‘regular’ cycling clubs. Maybe you want to cycle further but are worried about traffic or punctures? Maybe you’d like company rather than cycling alone? Maybe you want to build fitness stamina or distance.

If this appeals to you and any friends, it would be great to meet you on Sunday morning, and we’ll see how it goes! Any thoughts, questions or ideas, please post them on Mikes Bikes fb page.

Freewheeling – it’s all about people.
